When Allison married Tony she was sure
God promised that her marriage would be forever. Now she's divorced
and living alone in the mountain cabin in Idaho willed to her by her
Aunt Emma. Tony is an alcoholic. When Allison put her foot down, he
walked out. Now she's wondering if she did the right thing and
wondering why God didn't keep the promise he made.
Looking through her new home, she finds
her aunt's diaries in the attic. Growing up, her aunt, a commercial
photographer, seemed to have it all together, but now Allison finds
that she had her own struggles. Getting to know her aunt as a young
woman and finding her secrets helps Allison come to terms with her
own life.
This is a warm and very special story.
Robin Lee Hatch bases it on her own life and struggles with an
alcoholic husband. Because of this, Allison's struggles ring very
true. The characters are realistic. The setting is lovely. You can't
help but enjoy the Idaho mountain scenery and the towns people. I
loved Gizmo, her little dog. He add much needed comic relief.
If you're struggling with divorce, or
trying to understand how God is working in your life, even though it
may not be what you expected, this book will introduce you to the
secrets of two other women struggling with similar problems. It can
change your outlook. I highly recommend this book.
I reviewed this book for the Thomas
Nelson Booksneeze Program.
